The Verdin Brothers (from Minneapolis) with the Heavy Rains Stringband and Michael Seiser at the Little Rose Tavern

The Verdin Brothers are an experimental folk group from Minneapolis, about whom Americana-UK.com says, "If you are intrigued by the weirder roots of Americana, then you’d do well to investigate The Verdin Brothers, a trio of (yes) brothers who inhale the likes of American primitivism as parlayed by the likes of John Fahey, and then they dig a little deeper." Jon Behm at the Reviler.org says they "have a sound that in my opinion fits the Fall season perfectly [...] – that magical time when the dark begins its slow encroachment on the light."
